From 7 to 8 p.m. residents are invited to use the park's amenities as a raffle is held and at 8 p.m. there will be a showing of the movie "The Emperor's New Groove."

To see the plans for Flood Park's renovations this summer, go to smcgov.org/parks/realize-flood-park. Flood Park is located at 215 Bay Road, Menlo Park.

Menlo Park's new city website

The city of Menlo Park recently changed its website address from menlopark.org to menlopark.gov, which means email address for city officials have also changed. The city's menlopark.gov/contact-us page was blank as of May 17, but City Council members' addresses can be found at menlopark.gov/City-Council. Anyone using a city email address that they've used in the past should note that addresses must now end with menlopark.gov.
